Refining an Implementation Strategy to Enhance the Reach of HIV-Prevention and Behavioral Health Treatments to Latino Men Who Have Sex with Men.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Latino men who have sex with men (LMSM) experience HIV and behavioral health disparities. Yet, evidence-based interventions, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and behavioral health treatments, have not been equitably scaled up to meet LMSM needs. To address quality of life and the public health importance of HIV prevention, implementation strategies to equitably scale up these interventions to LMSM need to be developed. This study identifies themes for developing culturally grounded implementation strategies to increase uptake of evidence-based HIV prevention and behavioral health treatments among LMSM.

Methods

Participants included 13 LMSM and 12 stakeholders in Miami, an HIV epicenter. Feedback regarding the content, design, and format of an implementation
